K-State Mortar Board hosting 'Reading is Power'
Submitted by Kathleen Rajewski
Join K-State Mortar Board for "Reading is Power" from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Manhattan Public Library.
Children in kindergarten through sixth grade will have the opportunity to read one-on-one with firefighters, police officers, nurses, athletes and other community heroes; create superhero crafts to take home; and enjoy theatrical activities incorporating children's stories with K-State's improve group, On the Spot.
The event is free and open to the public. No registration is required.
K-State Mortar Board is a senior honor society dedicated to promoting scholarship, leadership and service at Kansas State University. This is the first reading event, which they hope to make into an annual event.
